THE LORD MAYOR'S DINNER. Yesterday the grand civic banquet, in celebration of the inauguration of the new Lord Mayor (Samuel Wilson, Esq.), - vas given with all the customary honours, and with increased eclat, in the Guildhall, which was splendidly illuminated for the festival. Amongst the guests we observed the following distinguished individuals:—The Prince and Princess of Capua, the Turkish Ambassador, the Earl and Countess of Eldon, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Palmerston, the Portu guese Charge d'Affaires, the Mexican Charge d'Affaires, Lord Chief-Justice Denman, the Judges, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor_ General, the Remembrancer, the Recorder and Aldermen, Vice-Admiral Sir Chis. Adam, Sir John Rae Read, M. P., Jas. Pattison, Esq., M. P., &c. The following toasts were drank in the course of the even ing with appropriate expressions of sympathy, and various speeches were made in reply, which, from the buzz of conver sation, were all inaudible at a little distance. " Her Majesty the Queen, long and happy may she reign." —" God save the Queen" was immediately sung with fine effect. " The Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal family." " Prosperity to the city of London and Trade." " The Navy and Army of the United Kingdom" ( Vice- Admiral Sir Charles Adam, returned thanks); " The Late Lord Mayor" ( Sir W. Cowan returned thanks); " The Prince and Princess of Capua" ( The Prince of Capua hrir fly acknowledged the honour); " The Turkish Ambassador and the Foreign Ministers who have honoured the Lord Mayor and Shi'riffs with their company." " The Corporation of the City of London ;" " The Lord Chancellor ;" " The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor" (the Lord Mayor returned thanks) ; " Viscount Melbourne and her Majesty's Ministers" (Lord Melbourne re turned thanks). The next toast appeared on the list as fol lows :—" The Earl of Elden, and the other Noble Lords who have honoured the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs with their com pany;" " The Chief Justice Denman and Judges" (Lord Denman returned thanks) ; " The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex ;" " The Lady Mayoress" (the Lord Mayor re turned thanks, and the Ladies retired); " The Attorney and Solicitor -General and the Bar of England ;" " The Repre sentatives of the City of London i n P ar li amen t ;" " Th e Aldermen wh o have passed the Ctair;" " The Alderman low the Chah'." The greatest harmony prevailed, and the company di not break up till a late hour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 9. —ln Harbour—The Britannia, 120, flag-ship ; Victory, 104, ordinary guard ship ; Excellent, gunnery ship; Royal George yacht; Racer, 16; Messenger, steam transport ; Diligence, naval transport ; and tenders Fanny, Emerald, and Gossamer. In Basin—The Ganges, 14, for the relief of the Rodney, 92. In Deck —Not any thing in commission. At Spithead—The Barossa, transport. ARRIVALS, SAILINGS, &c., DURING THE WEEK. On Saturday, the 3d—The Emerald cutter arrived from Sheerness with supernumeraries. On Saturday, the 4th—The Barossa transport arrived from the Eastward. On Tuesday, the 6th—The Diligence naval transport in attempting to iwork out of harbour got on shore near Block House Point. Assistance was immediately sent to her, but she did not succeed in getting off until next high water. The Sylph, tender, arrived from the Westward. On Thursday, the Bth—Sailed the Sylph, tender, for the Eastward. On Wednesday Mr. L. W. Peyton, late of tFe Pique, passed his examination in seamanship, to serve as a lieutenant in her Majesty's Navy; and Mr. John Barrett, Ch , rk, late of the Magnificent, to serve as Purser. On tl:e same day the flag of the Commander-in-Chief was struck, he having pro ceeded to London for medical avice. His return, however, is expected to-morrow. The Prince George, the old Sheer Hulk of this port, has been got afloat again during the week, and is now moored ready for the Excellent to commence her shell practice at. Captain Henry Dundaa resigns the command of the Bri tannia on the 12th and will be succeeded by Captai❑ liundas Trotter. The Camelibn, 10, will be commissioned to-morrow by Lieutenant George M. Hunter, late of the Portland. Mr. Henry 'Webb ha s teen appointed Second Master of her, and Mr.. J. W. Maddock, Clerk in Charge. The Daphne, 20, has been masted, and will be commissioned in the touring week. Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, late of the Childers, it is said, will have the command of her. The Magicienne, 24, and the Revenge, 74, are both beimg got ready with all despatch. On Si Jaturday last a meeting took place near Gosport, be tween one of the hospital Mates, at Hasler, and a medical practitioner of that town ; they were each attended by a me dical man, and after an exchange of shots they quitted the ground without having been able to bring about a reconcilia tion. On the same day a moat melancholy accident occurred in this harbour. A boat belonging to the Amphitrite, (a frigate in ordinary), upset, and five out of the six persons in her met with a watery grave, viz., the boatswain, his wife and daughter, the cook, and a boy. The bodies have all been picked up, and the Admiralty Coroner has held his inquest on them. Verdict accordingly. TIF E POOR CHURCH OF IRELAND DIOCESE OF Tuard.—A meeting was held on Thursday even ins li at the Corn y fT magma iitiOrrnnthem a to principles of the Ms Ift)llShect Ugurn, in the diocese of Tuam. The Rev. H. Stowell, of Man chester, presided. The meeting was addressed by the chair man, the Rev. Mr. Poulden, vicar of Westport, and the Rev. Mr. Nolan, of Liverpool, in furtherance of the object. We judge the success of the reverend divines was not very great; the Manchester folks, no doubt, fancying that the Church of Ireland, and especially the diocese in question, is rich enough, whatever their flocks in the West of Ireland may be. LYCEUM.—A few weeks since only, a News-room and L brary were opened in Ancoats-street, Manchester, and which is designed chiefly for the working classes in tEat densely po pulated district. The inhabitants appear to think it a great boon, as nearly 700 subscribers now appear on the list, which will bring in an annual income of about 3001. The Library consists of about 1,000 volumes. Most of the daily London, and all the Manchester Journals, are taken in, as well as many Monthly Magazines and Reviews. Dr. Epps, of London, is now gibing a course of lectures on Human Physiology. Al though the subscribers are admitted free, still, the tickets being low (ss. for the course), has induced an extraordinary number to attend. It is calculated that the receipts will be sufficient to pay the lecturer, without touching the funds of the Institution. I'HE EARL OE SEP TON.—His Lordship has been removed to Stoke Farm, near Windsor, where he is attended by Dr. Chambers and Mr. Moore, of Arlington-street, who accompanied him during his recent tour. The Noble Earl's youngest son, the Hon. Francis Molyneux, is acting as Charge d'Affaires at Frankfort-on. the-Maine until the arrival of the new Minister (the Hon. Henry Edward Fox), now on his way to England, from Italy. The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury and family are expected in Grosvenor-square on Monday next, on their way to Byam House, Brighton, which the Noble Mar quis has taken for the season. Mr. and Lady Augusta Wentworth and family ar rived in town on Saturday from Wentworth Castle, Yorkshire, and on Thursday proceeded to Paris, where they intend pass ing the winter. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Theo dosia Spring Rice are expected to remain three weeks at Hastings for the improvement of her Ladyship's health. The new private secretary of the Right Hon. Gentleman is Rich ard Bourke, Esq., son of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Richard Bourke, late Governor of New South Wales. Earl Howe was appointed one of the guardians to his only son by the late Lord Ribblesdale, and it was with the consent of the Noble Earl that the young Lord, who was only five years of age at the period of his noble father's sudden demise, resided with Lady Ribblesdale after her marriage with Lord John Russell. Lord and Lady Belhaven have been placed in mourning by the demise of their brother, the Hon. William Hamilton, heir presumptive to the title. The late Hon. Gen tleman died at Serampore in July last. He held a captaincy in the Hon. East India Company's service, and was in his 41st year. Stafford House, in the absence of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland in Italy, is occupied by various work men and artisans, who are endeavouring to complete that no bl e mansion by the ens u i ng spr i ng, when it will be one of the most splendid residences in the metropolis. Lord and Lady Southampton, who arrived at Dres denur a short time since, h ave l e f t i n continuation of their tour accompanied by the Ho n . H enry Fitzroy, M. P. for Lewes, and party. The Noble Lord an d L ady, and party, intend vi siting Constantinople. The Earl and Countess of Wicklow and the La dies Howard have left town for Brighton, where the noble fa mily will pass the winter. Sir Edward Cust and Lady, it is said, are on the eve of taking their departure for India, to the regret of their numerous tenantry, and all who know them. CANTERBURY. —Lord Brougham, with his lady and daughter, passed through this city on Tuesday last, on his way from Dover to London. His Lordship visited the cathe dral, attending the afternoon service, with which he expressed himself highly delighted. His Lordship and family afterwards proceeded to Sittingbourne, where they were to sleep.—Kent Herald. EATON HALL.—The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster have returned to this splendid seat, from Hal kin Castle, Flintshire. Previous to the Marchioness leaving the latter seat, her Ladyship bestowed clothing, &c., to the poor of the neighbourhood. The Marquis has established two schools for the education of the children of the poor in the vicinity cf the Castle. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING. THE COTTON TRADE.—The business done on Tuesday, was extensive, both in hand and power-loom cloths ; and though the last arrivals from America brought more favourable accounts of the cotton crops thaii had been previously enter tained, and though these accounts have operated a little on the Cotton Market in Liverpool, still purchasers of grey cloth to a large extent have since appeared, and at decidedly higher rates. Many large manufacturers have not a piece on hand ; they therefore anticipate a good trade. Though the winter yarns are saleable to a fair extent at a shade above last week's rates, the advance is not sufficient to induce some spinners to mark full time.

LONDON: SATURDAY EVENTY , :3, NOVEMBER io, le3B, We have one word to say in reply to the exquisite twaddle of the Herali, The Act of 1819, and the other Acts of which our Contemporary complains as favourable to the mo:iied classes, were not passed by them for their advantage, but by the landlords for the supposed public welfare. The landlords had, and have still, unfortunately, the great preponderance in the Legislature. One House of Parliament is entirely composed of them, the Ministers are almost always selected from them, a , :cl the other House in 1819 was almost exclusively the:r creatures. They might have been stupidly ignorant of the effect of their own laws, but they, and not the monied classes, were the authors of the Act of 1819. It was not passed,there fore, like the Corn-laws, by the men who are to pro fit by it, and for their profit, but by another class. The worst that can be said against the monied classes is, that they profit by the stupidity or ignorance of the country gentlemen. We do not reply to our Contemporary's remarks on Free Trade, because he has no more conception of the thing than the blind have of colours. Our Contem porary allows it to slip out that he is the enemy of profit ; and opposes the Repeal of the Corn-laws on the principle of those who " object to a class of indi viduals who live on profits while the producers are con demned to live on wages." In some persons this may be consistent and proper, but the Herald contradicts its own doctrines. Every day, almost, it vapours of its attachment to the farmers, and on their behalf opposes the Repeal of the Corn-laws. But the farmers, when not landlords, but only tenants, live on profits, and thus it writes against the very class it pretends to love. Daily, too, almost, does it rail against idle consumers ; and yet the Corn-law, which our Contemporary supports, taxes the industrious classes for behoof of the landlords, who are the most idle and worthless consumers in the prnn;rp_ nilie.et neither to profit nen- rent, as they the free bargains and sales be tween man and man, but we object to either being augmented by taxation ; and if our Contemporary will point out any laws which, like the Corn-laws, designedly tax the other classes for the exclusive bene fit of those who live on profits, we will aid him in pro curing their repeal. We are as much opposed to the sugar monopoly—the coal monopoly—the coffee mo nopoly—which are constituted by such laws, as we are to the bread monopoly. Our Contemporary glories in the inconsistency of defending one and condemning the others. We publish to-day the narrative of WILLIAms, whom Mr. EVORS committed to prison in Mont gomery. If true, as we are assured it is, to the tyranny which was at first manifested we must add still more disgraceful meanness. Mr. Evons re laxed his grasp when he found himself resisted, and appears to have attempted to bribe the poor man whom he had injured to make a false confession of his guilt. The manner in which the population of the country is corrupted by the petty tyranny of the local magis tracy is made evident by the degradation inflicted on WILLIAMS, and the pauperism to which his wife and family were reduced. The man must have uncommon firmness to surmount the evils of being thus made a public character of, and uncommon diligence and prudence, without help and only such small wages, ever to get out of the slough of poverty and degrada tion in which the Rev. Mr. Evoas has plunged him and his family. His case is unfortunately only a sample of the manner in which the poor are treated in most of the rural districts of the kingdom, and the consequences are deeply imprinted in their character. The narrative will he read with more interest when we announce that the case will lead to further pro ceedings. In our columns of this day will be found, extracted from the London Gazelle of last night, the official text of the Commercial Treaty between Great Britain and Austria. Taken in conjunction with the Treaty be tween England and Turkey, this document will enable our merchants to laugh at the three years' labour of Prussia, to consolidate her anti-British Commercial League. We know rmt to which of our Ministers more especially is the country indebted for Treaties agreed upon at so fortunate a juncture, and based upon such sound commercial principles ; but this we know, that to their framers, and to the Ambassadors who so well supported them, is Lord MELBOURNE indebted for two of the most popular acts in the history of his past administration. Every arrival from the West Indies but strengthens our conviction that there never will be happiness, security, or peace for the emancipated Negroes, so long as the administration of 0 - lc:laws, and the management of the plantations are continued in the hands of those white officials whose occupation, previous to the passing of the Emancipation Act, consisted in torturing and tormenting them with impunity. They cannot endure to witness the elevation to the rank of free, intelligent, and well-behaved fellow-citizens, of a class of beings whom they were accustomed to treat a myriad of times worse than they did the " beasts that perish." Having pro nounced them incapable of civilization, and strangers to all the better feelings of cur nature, they deem it a sort of duty to themselves to employ every artifice toneu tralize or retard every measure calculated to ameliorate the moral and social condition of the Negro race. Several of the Colonial agents have powerful inducements to the provocation of some insurrectionary outbreak on s t u h c e h p a ar n t e o , f /ie th u e le c( , :l , n o t t ):: t e i d In th e fi rst place, fuinl their predi ct i ons with re. Bard to the passing of the Emancipation Act, and SO TBE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 18 establish their reputation as seers ; and in the next, it would lead to the sale of many of the plantations at brie-sixth their real value, and so transform them from agents to principals, as they would not fail to be the purchasers. That such is their policy cannot, we think, be doubted for a moment by those who will take the trouble to peruse a letter addressed by Seven Baptist Missionaries, long resident in Jamaica, to Lord GLENELG, which will he found in anothe r part of The Sun. These Missionaries, we are assured, are men of irreproachable lives, of indefatigable Christian zeal, and of conversa. tion becoming persons whose sacred office it is to preach the gospel of peace. That their representa tion will produce a powerful effect upon the minds of the people of this country, we feel as confident as we do that our gracious Queen will concede any boon in her royal gift, necessary to the welfare of her coloured subjects. The Reverend Mr. BREEKS, and his Reverend Brethren who have aided and assisted him in bringing the case of MARY WOOLFREY into the Ecclesiasti cal Court, seem likely to repent of their proceeding s . A correspondent of the Chronicle, who writes from Windsor, informs the public tha,t in Sr. George's Chapel, Windsor, solemn obits are performed the Sundays before the four q•;arter days, when the so u l s of the founders are prayed for, and .when all those connected with that expensive establishment are fined if they do not attend. Will Mr. BREEKS, or th e Bishop of WINCHESTER, or the Rev. Dr. DEAL TRY, cite all those who arc guilty of this violation o f the canons of the Church, to answer in the Court of Arches on matters touching their souls' health ? If they punish the poor widow, and allow the assistants in the service at Windsor to go unpunished for dese crating that Protestant cathedral by a quarterly revival of the doctrines of Popery, what will the world think of their impartiality ? We humbly recommend the Rev. Mr. BREEKS to withdraw the case from the Court of Arches, and from the public notice as soo as possible. We much pleasure in directing attention to an ad vertisement in our columns of this day, announcing that the " United Mercantile and Traveller's Associa tion"—the formation of which was so repeatedly re commended in The Sun—is in such a state of com pleteness, as to be able to fix the 19th instant for the granting of annuities, and the effecting of all the important business of such an Association. Travellers, warehousemen, and mercantile clerks, have been too long destitute of the means of providing against the wants consequent upon sickness and old age ; it is greatly to the credit of the principal mer chants and Magistrates of the City of London, to be found at the head of a Society for the remedying the condition of a most meritorious, though hitherto neglected class of adjuncts to the mercantile. body. The Times of this morning contains an excellent practical illustration of the wisdom of that liberal and conceding policy which is professed by the Whigs, which that Journal, from stupid ignorance or more cul pable malevolence, daily vituperates, while it defends the opposite, arbitrary, coercive, and self-willed policy adopted by the Tories. The article which we insert amongst our extracts from the Journals shows that there exists great differences amongst the Catholic priests of Ireland. Dr. M‘HALE, the Catholic PHILLPOTTS, is at issue with Dr. MURRAY, the Catholic BLOOMFIELD, and the former has found in the Rev. Mr. THADDEUS O'MA LLEY, another Catholic priest, a far more vigorous antagonist than PHILLPOTTS found in the too amiable Mr. HEAD. These, however, are not the only schisms and disputes which exist amongst the Catholic priesthood. Those educated abroad differ essentially from those educated at Alaynooth ; and within the last year or two, besides the case of Mr. MULHOLLAND, several disputes amongst the Catholic priests have been made pub lic. The Times of this day contains, also, a letter from the Rev. Mr. DAVERNE, a Catholic priest, being the third in which that gentle man has vehemently attacked Mr. O'CoNNELL, and in which he says that he has been appealed to on the ground of pure policy, not to make the differences which exist among the Catholics known to the public. He also implies that he does not stand atone of the Catholic Clergy in condemning Mr. O'CoNNELL's policy. Here then is a very important fact, which may serve to allay the apprehensions of Protestant bigots, and disarm would-be Protestant tyrants. The Catholics of Ireland, formerly so united in conse quence of the oppression exercised towards them, are now divided, an d are pursu i ng different pol i t i ca l an d religious objects by different means. What has brought this about? The Times answers in the lan guage of the Rev. Mr. O'MALLEY : " Romanism was beset by dangers from which it is now ab solutely and en ti re l y exempted, to wit-Ist. The prose l yt i ng spirit by which the educational system of that day, carried on by the well-known Kildare-street Society, was supposed to be directed, and which is now altogether given up. 2d. The depressed state of the Roman Catholic body in 1826, before the passing of the Relief Bill, as compared with their present state, when, according to the frank and manly description of Mr. O'Malley, they are "an emancipated people, admitted to the very sanctuary of tha Constitution, and p o ssessed of every means and fa c ility o f d e t ect i ng every covert act, as well as defeating every open assault, of the enemies of our fathers' faith." These, be it remembered, are the words of an able, well-informed, scholar-like, and in mind, whatever he may be in station, independent Roman Catholic priest. He tells his Roman Catholic brethren that their condition differs funda mentally from what it was before " emancipation." The language of the Rev. Mr. DAVERNE, is Precisely similar. He says, writing to Mr. O'CON NELL " In our enslaved state under the penal laws, when we were robbed of our properties and our franchise together, and had no choice between abject petitioning and the sword, I could understand the course you are pursuing. But what, Sir, are year now afraid of ? We enjoy, at least, the protection of the ua r e se r one :tit s eh e i sen particlet power d i r o proved, P doo a f r l t i k a e m n o t a — t a d r e ' d s p , o i f t tr ue e laws as th ey stand—vre enjoy the elective franchise—we are e rs n e t iv to es t , a w ke e f m ro a rn y Gov t e o rn o m u anyf th e r c e ort e i t:tion withoutal right h w e e h s a v h e a d w o o: " f a doubt, that the Act of 1829, and the other acts of concession made from time to time to the Catho lics, have inspired these two gentlemen, and probably others, with their resolution to ` oppose Dr. M`HALE and M r . O'C ONNELL, and have placed'in their hands the means of exciting their Ca tht Irish c p co ll u i n L try Lp m o e T n T t s o , resist e t I: e e n ra t o b i k d e e a p m t i in eohne check kf theth e schemes of Mr. O'CONNELL. The power, then, of the priest and the demagogue, which was nursed into frightful greatness by the coercive policy of the Tories, has been much weakened if not stricken to pi eces by the mild and graceful policy of concession, al ways pro fessed, if not always followed up by the Whi g , It strikes us that something of the same ki n d i s Parliamentary beenmore x Deform (would s tiiat visibleit hadin England.othisn account has plainly separated the great mass of the middle c l asses from the Chartists, and has deprived the latter of every leader and nearly all assistance, which even the popu. lace used to obtain from the middle and upper classes. There is no BURDETT amongst them to lend the m a momentary weight by his name and fortune, after wards to desert and betray them. So we doubt whether the Dissenters be so united and so for midable to all opponents since the Repeal of the T est Act as they were before. The diminution of their power and the relaxation of their union, with other favourable circumstances, have operated advantageously too, by dissolving some of the cement of the Esta blished priesthood. Dr. PUSEY and Co. are at war with Dr. HAMPDEN and Co. Drs. MA 1, TBY and STANLEY are assailed by all that yet lingers in the Church of un ,Alaritableness and bigotry, and Dr. HOWLEY is a ;reat deal too meek to secure the approbation, or to escape the sarcasm of Dr. Prifm. the PoTcatTsho . l l ic f 3 ' tahcetedDiass septets were cordially united, if one body—or if the endowed clergy were, as in thi olden times, animated by one spirit, we should trem ble for the religious and political liberty off' the t our try. The policy of concession, which is so much de rided by the Thites, has broken all these formidable religious bodies into a multitude of cliques, gild ensured mental independence and public safety. The Paris Journals of Thursday do not contain a syllable of domestic news of any interest, with the exception of a Royal Ordonnance, convoking the meet ing the Chambers on the 17th of December. The question of Electoral Reform takes precedence of all others in the columns of the Liberal Journals. There is no doubt but that the demand of the National Guards to be included among the electoral body will, if persevered in with firmness, throw a great and dan gerous stumbling-block in the way of the Ministry. Had the Ministers the magnanimity to concede to the wishes of the Reformers in time, the solution of the question would be equally popular and safe ; but it is the fatality of weak 'Governments, by the refusal of just concessions, to provoke the enforcing of the most outrageous demands. What would purchase the grati tude of a nation, if conceded one year, often excites derision when withheld to the next. The perfection of statesmanship consists in appearing to lead the 'people, by always anticipating that expression of the popular will which reduces compliance on the part of a Ministry to the meagreness of a necessary, or rather inevitable act. Another question which will give Mi nisters some trouble is the reduction of the Five per Cents. A rumour prevailed on the Bourse on Thurs day, to the effect that the KING had consented to the reduction of the interest, and that a paragraph in the forthcoming Royal Speech would recommend the mea sure to the Chambers, which had the effect of pro ducing a decline in the prices of that description of Stock. Such a rumour, however, is more likely to be ill than well fountled. A FRIENDLY HINT. ," What are the Queen's Ministers doing ? This is no per. sonal or party question."—Morning Chronicle of this Day. What are they doing ? Why, taking their ease In town or country, just as they please, One's engaged in a hunting bout, Another at Windsor's cherishing► gout, Cutting a figure in regal halls, And simpering at regal festivals; One is yachting it o'er the deep, Another, less active, is fast asleep ; This, who's known as a first-rate shot, Is popping at woodcocks, and what not ; That, is busily making bulls In eloquent Erin, and also gulls— All are employed —a merry host— And each in the work that pleases him most ; While the sun shines, let's all make hay, The evil thereof's enough for the day"— Thus our frisky Ministers say ! Plausible Nerds, but an English sun Is apt to be a capricious one ; This hour it shines, and the sky is blue— The next 'tis o'ercast, and you get wet thro' I Tho' all is sunny now, and clear, And Ministers deem there's nought to fear; Yet a storm is brewing ; the low winds howl Afar, and the distant thunders growl John Bull is roused ; with looks irate He glances keenly at Church and State; First thinks of his grievances, perplext, Buttons his breeches-pockets next ; Then asks of Ministers, every one, Not " What are you doing ?" but " What have you done ? CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole of the morning with the arguments on the part-heard appeal of Ball v. Harris The only question on which is, whether or not the plaintiff has an equitable mortgage for 6001. upon the estate of the defendant. vicE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY His Honour the VICE CHANCELLOR took cause petitions to-day, none of which were of the slightest interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) SLATER V. WILLIS. The arguments in this case, which were part beard before the long vacation, were concluded this morning. The bill was filed by the assignees of William Austin Grocock, to establish their claim to certain ships, which ships were registered in the names of Edward Lowe and Charles Harris Grocock, and were alleged to be part of the partner ship property, the partnership consisting of William Austin Grocock, Edward Lowe and Charles Harris Grocock. The partnership was said to have been constituted by a deed ; but when that deed was executed did not at all with certainty appear. The business was carried on at St. John's, New Brunswick, by Edward Lowe and C. H. Grocock, and it was by them the ships were purchased. On the occasion of the registration, they made oath that they (E. Lowe and C. H. Grocock) were the sole owners of the ships, and the ships were regis tered in their names. The agents of Lowe and Grocock were Willis and Slater, to whom a very considerable balance be came due from Lowe and Grocock. Lowe and Grocock be coming embarrassed in 1824, Willis and Slitter were desirous of obt a i n i ng security for the payment of that balance. ln this they were assisted by William Austin Grocock, who re ceived a power of attorney from E. Lowe and Charles Harris Grocock, as the owners of two of the ships ; and by virtue of that power of attorney only, without pretending to be an owner himself, made an assignment of two of the ships. That W illiam Austin Grocock was a partner in the firm appeared to have been known to Willis and Slater some time in 1824. but not before. The MASTER of the ROLLS at once delivered judgment, and after shortly stating the facts, observed the question really was, whether William Austin Grocock ever bad, or whether his assigns now had, a title to the ships, and that depended on the construction to be given to the Act of Parliament relating to the registration of vessels, His Honour considered the construction to be clear, that not only must the name of every partner be inserted in the register, but the name of the part nership firm, and the shares to which the respective partners were entitled, stated. Under these circumstances, William Austin Grocock never had the legal title to the ships; and as the bill could not be sustained, it must be dismissed with costs. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) GIBSON AND OTHERS V. TIM EAST INDIA COMPANY. The question in this case, which arose upon demurrer, was mainly whether the East India Company could revoke a grant of a pension made by resolution of the Board of Directors, confirmed by the Board of Control. The action was brought to recover the half-yearly instalment of an annual sum of 1201., which the Company had agreed t., pay a person named Mullantine, under the following circum stances :—Mullentine entered the Company's military ser vice in the year 1808, the Company stipulating by reso lution that they would, after a service of twenty five years, continue to pay to him the yearly sum of 1201. in half yearly instalments. The resolution under the 33d Geo. 111., chap. 5, was signed by several of the Directors, and approved of by the Board of Control. Afi er the term of service ex pired; Mullantine embarked in trade, and became bankrupt ; and the assignees now claimed the half-yearly payment which was alleged to be due. On the part of the defendants, it was argued that the claim was for an annuity, which could only be legally founded on a written deed. Mr. Sergeant WILDE appeared for the plaintiff. He con tended, in a lengthened and elaborate argument, that the Com pany wer e as much bound by a contract on a resolution of th e ' Directors, sanctioned under the authority of the Act of Parlia ment by the Board of Control, as by a written instrument ; and further he argued, that the agreement being for a remu neration, on account of past services, there was nothing to pre vent the interest in it passing to the assignees. The Learned Sergeant ariucd that there was a clear difference between hal-pay and pensions, the half-pay being designed for the honour and advantage of the public service, and paid to those who were at any time liable to be recalled actively into that service, was considered inalienable; whereas, as to pen sions, particular Acts of Parliament had to be passed in those cases, as in the instances of the Dukes of Marlborough and Wellington, where it was intended to render them inalienable, clearly showing that the Legislature did not deem them gene rally so. Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE, for the defendants, urged that the resolution was to be considered rather as a preliminary arrangement than a positive contract—that the remuneration mentioned was to all intents and purposes an annuity, and as such required to be granted by deed —and that the resolution was merely to be viewed in the light of a contemplated, art anticipated, an intended grant, and not the grant itself. Whether the claimant was entitled to ask, in a Court of Equity,tlrat the defendants might be compelled legally to execute the contract which they bad professed their intention to make, was another question; but surely neither the bankrupt nor his assignees could enforce the claim by an action at law. The Court rose at one o'clock (leaving the arguments un !, tart.ExchtT7 Charn , wr. - Sittihgs at Nisi Trios also took place at the Sessions house, NlTestminster, before Mr. Justice PARKE, but nothing of public interest occurred. EXCHEQUER GOURT. 7 (THIS DAY.) LARCHIN V. OWILLAN. Mr. BUTT moved that the defendant be discharged from the bail bond which be bad given. He was arrested upon an affidavit, which set forth that the defendant was lately a Cap. tain in the Scotch Fusilier Guards t that he had sold out, and was now a Captain in the l 7th Foot ; but the deponent be lieved that it was his intention to sell out of that regiment also, and ieafe the country. Upon this affidavit a Judge's order was obtained, and the defendant vras arrested. The Learned Gentleman had now the affidavit of the dticndant, in vrhich he deposed that be had no intention of selling out of the army; thht he was now on leave of absence from his regiment, which was now in Ireland; that he « • as about to join it at the end of the month ; and that as it had only lately returned from abroad, there was very little chance of its being sent on foreign service for a long time to come. The Learned Counsel contended that the going to join his regiment on professional duty, and going only to Ireland, was not such a leaving of the country as was contemplated by the recent Act of Parliament, in order to justify the arrest upon tnesn6 process. Tne Count refused the rule on the ground that by going to Ireland, the defendant would be out of the reach of a pro cess from any Court in England. 'I hey thought that the principle of the Act was, that the plaintiff should have a security that the body of the debtor should be within the jurisdicti,:n of the Court when enecution was taken out, pro vided it was within the jurisdiction at the commencement of the action. The LORD CHLEF BARON was sitting in Equity in the Ex chequer Chamber. Mr. Baron Parke had to retire uponsome family affairs, at half-past eleven o'clock, and as none of the Counsel had motions to make, the Court rose at that hour. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. JOHN DISNEY, ESQ. Mr. PRICE moved for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not issue against Mr. Disney, a Magistrate of the county of Essex. This was a case wherein certain parties were summoned by information under the Southend Pier Company's Act, an Act for erecting a pier and imposing cer tain tolls on goods and passengers landed at that place. The parties for whom ho appeared were bargemen, who bad for the last eight or ten years been struggling with the Company, contending that they were not liable t 6 toll, and they were exceedingly anxious that the Company should bring an action for the purpose of having the point settled. Elbe Company, however, did not appear to be inclined to do so, but bad brought the parties before a Magistrate to compel them to pay the penalties under the Act. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—What iS your mandamus for? Mr. PRICE—TO compel the Magistrates to return and enter an order at the sessions, from which the parties meant to appeal, which they are entitled to do under a clause in the Act. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE —Have they refused to return it ? Mr. PRICE—Yes. The Magistrate, in the course of his duty, having thought fit to make the order, has not returned it to the sessions. He has returned the conviction, but nut the order discharging part of the information, and convicting on part. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Your client was convicted on part and acquitted on part, and you say the Magistrate is bound to return the order ? Mr. PaicE—Certainly. We are entitled to appeal, and when we go to the sessions, the Clerk of the Peace may say there is no order in the office. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—The order is the acquittal o your client? Mr. PRICE—Yes, and we want it for two purposes. We want, strange as it may seem, to appeal from it, for they have saddled us with costs, and acquitted us of the more penal part. It is an exceedingly impot tent question, which I should be glad to bring before the Court of Queen's Bench, but at present it nits v,ith the local jurisdiction, and we are desirous of having the opinion of the 111ag strates. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—What is the Act Mr. PRICE —The 10th Gen. IV. c. 69, amended by the sth and 6th William IV., c. 90, and the clause which gives the power is the 146th section of the first of these Acts, which is embodied in the second. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said he would look at the affidavits and give his decision ou Monday morning. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. CRESSWELL moved for a r ule to show cause why an inquisition taken More the Coroner for Warwickshire should not be quashed. The matter was brought up by certiorari some time since. The inquisition was on the body of a person named Thomas Horton, whose death was caused by the en gines of the Grand Junction Railway Company, and the Jury found that the accident was caused by the Company having negligenty, carelessly, and improperly, caused the said engines to be used; but they exonerated the people who had the care of the engines from all blame, and thr'y then imposed a deodand on the engines. He (Mr. Creswell) apprehended that a deodand could only be levied where the accident hap pened without the interventi4n of hainn means. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Take a rule to show cause. BOW-STREET -(THIS DAY.) CHARGE OF HORSE-STEALING George Edwards, a gamekeeper, was brought up by Ruth yen, the officer, for re-examination, charged with stealing a horse and chaise, ke_preesf 'arty of Mr. fleryir - rrttchard - ey-stable keeper, Percy-sireeC,Rathbone place, Oxford-street. _ - It appeared that he the beginning of August last, the prisoner came to the prosecutor's stables for the purpose of hiring a horse, but having never seen him before, be begged to know how far he wanted to take him. He replied that he wanted to go as far as Hatfield, and requested to be allowed the grey mare which Mr. Heath was in the habit of hiring, as he was living in that gentleman's family. He was told that the journey mould be too much in one day, and he agreed to hire the horse for two days. The prisoner then took the horse, chaise, and harness, and they were never heard of until the 6th inst., when they were found in the possession of Mr. Aylward, landlord of the Run ning Horse, at Alerford, who bought it from the prisoner, on the 7th August for 151. The prosecutor never heard anything of the prisoner until the 4th, when, with the assistance of Ruth ven, he was apprehended at Sandhurst, near to BlaCkwater : and he then told who the person was to whom he had sold the property, which was valued by the prosecutor at 401. The prisoner declined saying anything in his defence, and he was fully committed to Newgate for trial. BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD. Return between the 2d October and sth November inclu. sive, to and from Birmingham : Travelled, 3,553,061 Miles. No. of Persons, 56,816. Duty paid to Government, 1,8501. Ils. The foregoing is the substance of the declaration of the Re. turn made before the Magistrates, Mr. Twyford, and Dr. Robinson, a County Magistrate, MARYLEBONE:-(THIS DAY.) A person named Thomas Warr, described as a slaughter. man, was placed at the bar, charged with the following seri. ous robberies : Thomas Rogers sworn, said lam a butcher, residing in 33, Bell-street; yesterday I received information from Mr. Young, of Adstock Folly, near Buckinghamshire, that a black gelding and a bridle and saddle, had been stolen from him on last Tuesday. The prisoner had been in the neigh bourhood that day and the one previous ; his suspicions rested on him and he desired me to get him arrested. I met him this morning and gave him in charge to a constable. Mr. HOSKINS ordered the case to stand over until the atten dance of Mr. Young could be procured. The witness Rogers again stood forward, and said the prisoner had been in the employment of Mr. Thomas Poynter, of 62, Aldgate High -street, fr9m whom he had stolen sixty eight sovereigns. Hand-bills had been issued, offering a re ward of 5/. for the his apprehension, but he could be nowhere found until this morning. Rogers was desired to get Mr. Poynter to attend on the next hearing of the charge, and the prisoner was locked up. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN MARKET.
